What does kilocalorie (th)/second measure?

It measures power based on thermochemical kilocalories transferred per second, widely used for quantifying heat flow rates.

Why convert to kilocalorie (IT)/hour?

Converting to kilocalorie (IT)/hour helps compare thermal power using an International-Table calorie basis expressed per hour, common in HVAC and metabolic calculations.

Can this conversion be used for fluctuating power measurements?

No, this conversion assumes steady-state conditions and may not provide accurate results for variable power outputs.
